I have made a heart wrenching decision that may ruin my relationship with my son. I am going to try to get custody of my granddaughter.
I won't go into all the horrid details, but she is not safe in his and his live in girlfriends care. I am so heart broken about this. My son is really screwing up and I cannot stand by and watch this precious baby be neglected because her parents are on a slippery slope. He has agreed to leave her with me. (because they have no where to live) I WON"T take them or her other 2 children but agreed to take the baby. I went to an attorney today and this won't be easy. Unless I see a rapid improvement in my son I will start custody proceedings Please say a prayer for this little angel.....she deserves a chance at a normal life. Dottie __________________

how very hard for you (((Dottie)))
I pray that whatever is the best for this precious child will take place, and that God will give you the strength and ability to do whatever has to be done to keep her safe.  ps praying too that your son will put his daughter above all else and love you more for caring enough to intervene

I know this is hard, but please know that you are doing the right thing. I don't doubt that God is motivating you to protect your grand child, for her sake. He is full of grace for the struggling. My prayers are with you, and your family....

Sending prayers your way, Dottie. Your post reflects how heartbroken you are over the whole ordeal. May you find strength to do what you must to insure the safety of your grandbaby. Take care of yourself too.

In typical "Mom" fashion I'm wondering what I did or didn't do for or to my son to have him be so irresponsible.
In my head I know its not my fault......it's my damn heart! He is suppose to bring her to me tonight.............he hasn't called all day. He refused to let me come and get her. Pray that he brings her to me. I don't even know where she is!!! Dottie
